Hi Jamiil,
have you had a look on http://mingw.sf.net?
MingW together with MSYS is somthing like Cygwin with the difference that it targets on the windows platfrom directly. Cygwin uses an thick emulation layer.
So MingW is what you want to use.
Apart -mno-cygwin can be just part of your other CFLAGS.

Before going any further, I would like to thank everyone involved in helping me find I solution to this problem, your help has been most valuable, specially yours Stefan; your help has been most welcomed.
I did check "Tor's" web page righ after reading your message; there I found out that one can compile a gtk program under cygwin that will be able to run on MSW machines just by using the '-mno-cygwin' flag.
I have not tested this flag and cannot make any assestment as to the certenty of Tor's statement for two reasons. I don't know how to use this falg and I don't want to spent the time finding out how it works knowing that the result could be unsatisfactory. Thus I have decided to post the folowing question to the group in the hope that someone might have had a previous encounter with this problem and be in a better possition to make a recomendation on this issue.
Before Thanks to everyone envolved in

Hi Jamiil,
that is normal when using Cygwin. If you want a native version use MingW together with the gtk+ builds e.g. Tor offers.

I have finally got an application to compile under cygwin, but to run it I have to launch the X server, 'startx' to be able to run the program under cygwin. However, I am not able to run the program form windows, I have added the 'cygwin.dll' and 'cygX11-6.dll' directories to the 'autoexec.bat' '%path%'. the program just does not run. What can I do to get this fixed?
TIA
